The Accounting Hall of Fame inducted Nicholas
Dopuch and James Don Edwards into its ranks during the American
Accounting Association’s annual meeting in August.

Dopuch,
the Moog professor of accounting at Washington University’s Olin
School of Business in St. Louis, received this honor in recognition
of his writing, vision and energy, which helped shape the
development of accounting research over the past four decades.

Edwards earned admission to the Hall of Fame on the basis of his
extensive contributions to the profession in both academic and
professional settings. He is the Tull Professor of Accounting
Emeritus at the University of Georgia’s J.M. Tull School of
Accounting.

Ohio State University’s Fisher College of
Business established the Accounting Hall of Fame in 1950. Since that
time, the Hall’s international board of electors has admitted 69
influential and respected accountants from academia, accounting
practice, government and business.
